The teen idol took to Twitter after being told that last night's show focused on Demi Lovato's young adults and Simon Cowell's groups categories - with Reid's over 25s getting relatively little air time.

Biebs tweeted: "Heard we got used for ratings according to twitter and we arent even on until tomorrow? @xfactorusa could of just told us."

But he wasn't dwelling on his disappointment - revealing that his fans had cheered him up.
